Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Red Star

Castle of the Marquis Emerald.

The moonlight entered through the castle windows, in the corridor, a 5-year-old boy with blond hair screamed with all his might.

- Mom!!

- Mom!! Please, tell me the history of the continent!

A young woman appears quickly in the hall.

- "Okay, but promise me you'll sleep later"

- Okey, Mon!

The young mother carried her son to her bed in her room, when she finally finished covering the sheets for her son, she began to tell the story of the continent.

- "From the beginning, the world was constantly changing, the desolate beasts populated the continent with total freedom, in the ocean there were beings older than before the continents were formed, they were called Titans, colossal beings, the most powerful in the world.

In the Northwest of the western continent, first wise race turn up they were the Golden Elves, immortal beings, the wisest and loved by nature, appeared in the Jungle of the Ancestral Trees, trees 500 meters high and 200 meters wide, On the coldest nights the ancestral trees sheltered and sheltered the golden elves characterized by their pointed ears, golden hair like their eyes and skin pearl white. They deeply loved nature and harmony with their environment.

To the east of the continent, in the accursed Forest appeared the Dark Elves, immortal beings, most sadistic of all beings, love battles and blood; a race characterized by its pointy ears with gray skin and black hair like its eyes.

To the south-west of the continent, in the mountain ranges of Tartaros, the dwarves appeared, great miners, artisans of the mountains and innate warriors, they measured around 1.50 meters of maximum height with a powerful body, skilled in the forge of minerals. They used the inner strength of his body to defend himself from the desolate creatures that inhabited his surroundings.

Near the mountain ranges of Tartaros, the giants were born, peaceful beings and protectors of their race, measuring 10 meters high, copper skin known as the race with the most powerful brute force in the continent.

Near the Jungle of the Ancestral Trees, appeared the last wise race, human beings, ingenious who crave above all the power to govern and be on top of others.

After thousands of years, the continent went through several transformations, the wise races also went through several changes, the desolate beasts decreased their numbers in the territories of the wise races, the accursed forest became the nest of most of them. This period of changes came to be known as the Great Age of Miracles.

At first the Golden Elves cared for the human race, lacking in physical strength, without any inherited racial ability like the other races; Later, the humans decided to abandon the care of the elven race, traveled in groups through different territories of the continent. The Golden Elves later decided to hide from the world and live as hermits in the Jungle of the Ancestral Trees, away from the other races.

The Dark Elves left the accursed forest in several tribes to continue exploring the continent, some traveled to other lands far from our continent never to return. The giants in the beginning helped each other with the dwarves in the mining and protection of both races as a single force, later half of the giant race decided to travel to other places outside their home to continue exploring the continent and the world to inhabit other territories.

The history of humanity was prosperous and miserable, an eternal cycle to this day. In the beginning families formed villages to defend themselves from the desolate beasts, then cities and finally kingdoms and empires causing wars among humans themselves. The results were deaths, famine and all kinds of misery that the weak endure.

Centuries later the human earth appeared inside, the Radiant Church an organization that worships the God of light, brought sacred magic to mankind, earning followers for his church, and increasing the faithful with the help of his famous healing magic.

As the only force on a par with the radiant church was the Society of Mystic Arts, they believed in martial arts and mystical abilities, they believed that humans have unlimited potential to be able to take care of themselves without the need to worship anyone."

The young mother realized that her son was already sleeping peacefully in her bed, with sweetness and low voice she continued talking to her son already asleep.

- "Son we are believers of true human potential, remember it well"

- "Yes mom…"

Zzzzz

Zzzzz

- "Grows healthy and strong"

The young mother withdrew from her son's now dark room in a silent manner so as not to wake him up.

***********

- "The longevity of my race has been our curse"

It's what I think, I've seen humans who have a short life expectancy grow, they've always been in constant change and I've asked myself.

- "What motivates them to go fast in life without going to die soon?"

Because they do not enjoy their short life in peace. Capable they never needed our protection from the beginning, we should have learned from them how to live.

My race to have the ability to communicate with the elementals of nature and use their power, we always thought we were superior to others and never explore new paths. Humans began as the weakest race on the continent, centuries later learned to defend themselves from other wise races and magical beasts with their own abilities. Humans learned to extend their lives, learned to use magic a similar ability of the elementals, learned how to train their body like the Dwarves.

The humans stopped being weak, however, they do not have the union or harmony like the other wise races, but they are not far from achieving it in the not too distant future and that worries me.

We are the strongest in the continent for now but who guarantees that in the future we will continue to be the strongest race ?, perhaps we are destined to be overcome, we have to change as humans did or we will not be able to maintain the title of the wise race stronger. (Angelo Katsaros)

***********

- "They believe they are superior because they are the first race of this world, they believe that they are better because they are loved by nature, they believe that because they are the only ones that use the elementals of nature, they make them better than us"

- "Do you really think we're weak?"

We without the need for elementals or magic are at the same level as the Golden Elves in power or strength.

We will be a race rejected by magic !!

However, we had to learn to survive with our hands, to temper our body to the fullest, we learned to forge weapons and relics, We were able to be on the top of the continent like the golden Elves. (Agathon Flamcuort)

***********

Night covered the world.

Angelo Katsaros, leader of the assembly of the Golden Elves, observed the sky from a branch of the highest Ancestral Tree of the forest, in the middle of the sky there was a red star, the first irregularity since the era of miracles.

What meaning does this star have in the world?

A stage of change?

The prelude to something? A new age?

They were all the questions that were in the mind of Angelo, a numbness sensation invaded his body, it was the instinctive fear something that he himself could not believe, a repressed emotion erupted from the depths of his being.

- "It seems that a calamity will soon reach the continent and that it will endanger everyone including my race. I need to eliminate that danger as soon as possible before it becomes inevitable "

*******

Agathon Flamcuort, leader of the Round Table of the Dwarves.

- "Damn humans, they reproduce like rabbits and near our territory. I hope they try to start a conflict against us and disappear forever their damn kingdom"

Ahead!!

- "My Emperor, I have an important information, the golden elves have begun to move outside their territory to the territories of the other races"
